Chapter 8 Can he do it or not?
"Peruzi, I have clearly emphasized before that the team has difficulties in the lineup now!"
"The midfielders are really stretched to the limit!"
"And if the team wants to complete the predetermined goal at the beginning of the season in the second half of the season."
"You must bring me strong support in the midfield position!"
"I need an offensive midfielder who can open the situation for the team's offensive end!"
"My requirements are not that high. At least give me a midfielder at the level of 20 million euros, okay?"
"As a result, you loaned a 16-and-a-half-year-old rookie from Liverpool!"
"There is no record of appearance in the Premier League!"
"I don't even have any experience in a professional competition!"
"It's completely an unknown person in the youth training camp!"
"I don't disrespect your operation in the transfer market."
"But you brought me such a player, which really won't help the improvement of the team's strength!"
"It's really hard for me to do it like this!"
At this time.
In the office of the manager of Lazio Club.
Lazio coach Pioli complained to the team manager Peruzi with a depressed face!
Listening to Pioli's complaints, Manager Peruzi was also helpless.
"Is it difficult to do? Well... That has to be done too!!"
Peruzi also looked bitter.
"Pioli, you know, Lazio is not a rich team like Juventus and Milan."
"The transfer budget for each season is quite limited!"
"The team has spent all the budget on contract renewal and recruitment within the team during the transfer period of the summer half a year ago."
"Where do you want me to go? I'll give you 20 million yuan for citation!"
"You suggested to me before that when there was a shortage of people in the midfield, I was already working hard to find a suitable player!"
"This player who was loaned from Liverpool is still prostituted for nothing!"
"Clubs also have difficulties! It's better to talk than nothing. You can make do with it first!"
Peruzi comforted Pioli.
He said depressedly:
"Liverpool is also true, although we are prostitutes for nothing, and there are no special requirements for the loaned midfielder."
"But they directly rented a 16-and-a-half-year-old rookie player, which is really too unkind!"
"Oh, they really treat us as a free team for their little demon training!"
"But Liverpool manager Michael has been emphasizing it on the phone."
"This midfielder is not young, but his talent is very outstanding!"
"You can let him train with the team first. It may really be useful!"
Pioli hummed angrily:
"The football manager of every club will say that their young players are geniuses!"
"Forbit, everyone is here. Let's try to follow the team first!"
"If the ability meets the standard, it is also profitable to be able to mix with a regular substitute rotation in the midfield!"
"After all, it's free to rent. It doesn't cost a penny, and you can't ask too much!"
The head coach Pioli complained.
But he also knows it in his heart.
In today's football world, even the five major league teams.
Except for those rich family teams with strong capital.
This is the survival of small and medium-sized ball clubs.
The annual transfer budget is limited.
We can only make up for the team roughly.
Money can only be spent on the blade!
Some less important positions or team roles.
It can only be maintained by leasing and other means.
Just like now Lazio urgently needs a midfield rotation.
Half of the season has passed.
Now we are at a critical moment in the double-line battle between the domestic league and the Italian Cup.
A lineup of the main team alone will definitely not be able to stand it.
The rotation of players on the bench is important at this time.
Lazio's regular starting lineup is 451.
The demand for the rotation of midfield players is naturally the greatest!
Jack was loaned to Lazio.
What needs to be done is to become the midfield rotation of the team!
But now in the eyes of coach Pioli.
He really doubted that a rookie player who had never had any professional competition experience could take on this heavy responsibility!
Pioli and Peruzi.
At this moment, I walked to the training ground.
Jack has just undergone a series of physical examinations at the physical examination center in Lazio.
At this time, I also came to the training ground.
On the training ground, the players of the first team of Lazio also gathered one after another.
He looked at Jack, the new team member, with a curious face.
Coach Pioli took over the report of Jack's medical examination from the staff.
At a glance, the results of the report did not surprise him at all.
Although Jack in front of him is 1.85 meters tall.
The body looks relatively strong.
But judging from the medical examination report.
His physical strength can only be regarded as barely good.
The speed and explosive power are not very good.
The reaction is also very average.
Even the physical condition is sloppy, which is not outstanding at all!
This can't help but make Pioli frown.
Originally, Pioli had a plan in his mind.
If Jack really doesn't have enough strength to gain a foothold in Serie A.
At least he can transform the tall Jack into an engineer-type midfielder.
After all, the engineer-type midfielder only needs to do some dirty work.
If you can force it, just run away!
But Jack's physical fitness is very average, and his physical condition is not outstanding.
There are no prerequisites for transformation at all!
Although I was a little disappointed in my heart.
But Pioli still follows the normal process.
Jack, a new member, was introduced to the whole Lazio team.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Jack! His ancestral home is the United States, and he is a midfielder!"
Facing Lazio's teammates, Jack briefly introduced himself first.
At this time, Jack was also very excited.
Because in front of him.
They are the faces of football stars that could only be seen in live TV before!
Although "Blue Eagle" Lazio is not a rich team in Serie A.
But it is definitely a strong team in Serie A.
The starting players in the team are also many stars who have won the stage!
The first one that caught Jack's eyes.
He is the former Bayern top star, the World Cup record holder for the total number of goals, and the absolute legendary striker Kloser!
Kloser joined Lazio a few seasons ago.
Kloser, who had already entered the end of his career, came to Lazio to retire.
However, Kloser is still old-fashioned, and he is still shining in the past few years in Lazio.
He is the team's front-line veteran.
Next to Kloser.
It's the midfield star Mauri, who has played for Lazio for 10 years and is also the captain of the team!
And the others are also Jack's familiar Serie A stars!
Candreva, the forward on the right!
Philippe Anderson, the left forward!
Agentin national player, defensive midfielder Biglia!
There are also former Italian powerful national gate Marketi and so on!
Compared with Jack's heart is surging.
The Lazio team members heard Jack's self-introduction.
Everyone's heart couldn't help but sink!
Ordinary players introduce themselves.
They will emphasize their home country or ancestral home.
This is the player's sense of glory and identity with his own bloodline!
Like midfielder Bigria, he has dual citizenship of Agentin and Italy.
But he was born in Argentina, so he usually emphasizes that he is an Argentine.
Substitute black striker Keita, from Senegal, Africa.
Although he also has the nationality of Gaul, he has been playing football in the youth training system of Gaul since he was a child.
But he is also more willing to emphasize that he is Senegalese.
Therefore, Jack also proudly emphasized that his ancestral home is the United States.
But the Lazio team members began to worry at this time.
Although everyone later learned that Jack grew up in the youth training system in England.
Therefore, the strength of the whole Lazio team against Jack.
At this time, it is inevitable to report with a pessimistic attitude!
Although it is known that Jack's joining will not bring any substantial improvement to the team's strength.
But after all, he is also a new member of the team.
At the instigation of coach Pioli, Lazio's players still applauded to welcome Jack's joining!
Looking at the expressions of the Lazio players, they were a little dim.
Pioli also knew it in his heart.
The team's current league performance is not good.
Everyone expects that the midfielder's new aid during the winter break will be a strong support.
But obviously, Jack's appearance still made everyone feel a little lost!
"Jack, what are you best at on the court?"
Coach Pioli asked.
On the one hand, Pioli wants to know more about Jack so that he can integrate into the team as soon as possible.
On the other hand, I also want to break the awkward atmosphere on the current training ground.
Ask Jack what he is good at.
Jack's answer must also be his personal strengths.
In this way, Pioli can also find a reason to praise Jack's strengths and boost the team's morale.
Strengthen the teammates' confidence in Jack as a new member!
"What are you best at? That should be a pass!"
Jack almost didn't think much, so he blurted out.
I now have Platini's top pass template.
The best thing is to pass the ball!
Jack's answer made Pioli's heart sink!
This kid! What's not good to say, it's about passing the ball!
What Lazio lacks most now is an offensive midfielder!
In the offensive midfield, the most scarce and valuable is the good passing player!
Originally, Jack's arrival had already made the Lazio generals a little lost.
Don't you feel more uncomfortable when you say that?!
You can say running, offensive consciousness or defensive consciousness or so on.
After all, these things are relatively virtual.
I can find a reason to praise you!
Pioli was a little embarrassed.
Now everyone is on the training ground.
The football is right at your feet.
The training facilities for passing the ball are not far away!
In front of so many people, you said that you are good at passing the ball.
If I don't let you show it, I'm afraid it's a little impossible!
Jack, this stupid boy, is really good at hitting the muzzle of the gun!!
